<div dir="ltr">I think sometimes passive aggressiveness can come off as being insulting. I remember in the whole lockers thread, you had to go through and disagree with every single point I made in one of the emails, and that came off as a bit insulting. I think it's fine to disagree with someone, but when one goes out of their way to disagree with every single point, it comes off as a bit hostile. It's important to note that email lacks visual cues for empathy so although you may feel cool and collected, you may be angering someone else across the net.<div>

<div>I know i express opinions others don't always agree with. But i do not believe i've ever been "insulting" to anyone. Feel free to link me to my "insulting" emails-- i'm not aware of that. </div>

<div>I have no reason to apologize to Rachel. The apology needs to go in the other direction. </div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
